Adobe, the company behind Photoshop and Illustrator, has launched its latest Firefly Image Model 4 and a redesigned Firefly web app, bringing powerful AI tools for creating images and videos. These updates, reported by TechCrunch and other sources, are exciting for Pakistani designers, students, and tech enthusiasts who want to create stunning visuals without needing high-end skills or equipment.
What’s New with Firefly?
The Firefly Image Model 4 represents a leap forward from its predecessors, boasting improved quality, speed, and precision in generating images up to 2K resolution.
According to Adobe’s VP of Generative AI, Alexandru Costin, the model was trained with significantly more computational power, enabling it to produce highly detailed outputs with greater control over structure, style, camera angles, and zoom. The Image Model 4 Ultra, a more advanced variant, excels at rendering complex scenes with intricate details, catering to professional-grade creative needs.
Adobe claims these models offer superior prompt interpretation, enhanced photorealism, and better handling of complex compositions compared to earlier iterations. Posts on X echo this sentiment, with users noting the models’ ability to deliver “ultra-realistic results” when leveraging the new Style slider.
The new version of the Firefly web app serves as a centralized hub for Adobe’s AI tools, integrating not only its models but also select third-party models from OpenAI (GPT image generation), Google (Imagen 3 and Veo 2), and Flux (Flux 1.1 Pro).
Additional Features
Adobe is expanding its Firefly Services with the general availability of its Text-to-Image and Avatar APIs, alongside a beta Text-to-Video API. These tools enable developers and businesses to incorporate Firefly’s generative capabilities into custom workflows.
Forbes reported that Adobe’s Firefly Video Model complements these image models by offering IP-friendly video generation. This feature is praised by brands like PepsiCo and Dentsu for its creative control and legal safeguards. The video model supports 1080p resolution, with a 4K model in development, and integrates with Premiere Pro for features like Generative Extend.
